Silver Salmon action has been non-stop since their arrival in early August.
Our local artesian river now has silvers from the ocean mouth to the headwaters.
Our fly out days continues to wear out our guests whether using fly fishing or
spin fishing equipment. Fishing is excellent and we have YET TO HAVE OUR
FIRST FROST of the season. Rainbow Creek is producing scores of fat
rainbow trout per fly fisherman and the Arctic Char fishing is nearly every cast
as these colorful and aggressive are preparing for the spawn and long winter
ahead. Willow ptarmigan are arriving in flocks from the uplands where the
lowering snow line has buried their berry supply. Fall colors are now vivid at
the lodge.
